Bust is an intimate portrait of families struggling to cope with personal debts as the credit crunch unfolds. Tracy and Melvyn bought their council house on a low interest mortgage, but with rates soaring they’re now in trouble. Michael is struggling to afford the help he needs to cope with his lung and heart disease. Maria is a social worker who took out a loan when she could easily afford the repayments.

We follow these families over a year as they struggle to cope, and battle through the bureaucracy of bankruptcy and repossession. Want to watch more full-length Documentaries?
